Find a Man to Love you Just the Way you are? Here's How
By: Peter Hector
Don't hesitate to show him the real you.
Men are not the only ones who pretend to be who they're not
during courtship. Some women deliberately suppress certain traits and habits
about themselves for fear of appearing less desirable to a man. Others may not
even be aware of their actions, and instinctively but unintentionally conceal
parts of their character during the early stages of a relationship. This fact
alone is sometimes responsible for early break-ups between couples. People who
believe they have found their ideal partner soon find out; always too late that
they were mistaken.
Vickie 33 is an attractive, bright well educated brunette. She
says.
“As I reflect on my past relationships, they all had one thing
in common. Most of the men I dated seemed to lose interest in me soon after I
said yes to a steady relationship. The pattern was the same; at first they all
seemed to be highly motivated to be with me. But it's as if I became less
desirable as they got to know me better. It was only after my third boyfriend
announced to me that he wanted to end our relationship, I began to wonder maybe
I was the problem.”
Some women especially those who men find stunningly attractive
are aware that men seem more interested in their looks than who they really are.
This fact in itself is not new, beautiful women always attract men, but it's
then up to the women to unveil other aspects of their character. In our fast
moving society, this is easier said than done. Here's why. You knock him off his
feet with your stunning beauty. In you he sees the woman he always wanted. How
fortunate it would be for him if only you would give him the chance to prove he
is your ideal man. He begins to pursue you relentlessly. If he is like most men,
he tries to please you in every way by doing the things he believes you like,
such as shopping, dining out, theatres, parties and casinos.
You are flattered by this new found attention and of course you
enjoy the activities. Most men believe that attractive women are swamped with
dating options and in order to win the woman a man would have to outdo other
would be competitors; this is not always true. So after a few months of intense
courtship, you become convinced he's in love with you. But does he know the real
you? Yes, a man falls in love with the glamour and excitement that goes with
courting a physically and socially attractive woman. Usually he focuses on
satisfying his sexual fantasies and his desire for conquest.
But most of us know that this excitement could be short lived,
more so after a conquest. No matter how great the sex turns out to be, the
fantasy soon wears off. This is not to say that the man no longer finds the
woman attractive, more than likely he still does. But in addition to sex, a man
needs to know that his woman possesses other qualities needed to hold his
interest. If you do not take the time to show him other sides of your
personality in the early stages of the relationship, he may feel less and less
motivated to remain in a relationship with you.
Five things you can do to hold his interest.
1. Show him the real you in the early stages of your
relationship before he looses interest.
2. Spend less time on conventional dating activities such as
nightclubs, parties, restaurants and theaters. Instead, invite him to join you
in some of your daily activities like jogging, morning walks, even introduce him
to your volunteer activities at the local community centre.
3. Find out if he can satisfy your emotional need for
conversation by creating situations that lead to one on one discussions not only
about yourselves, but also on topics of mutual interest. If he pays attention to
your comments and offers opinions of his own, there is a good chance he enjoys
and shares your need for regular conversation.
4. Arrange some of your activities to include a few of your
close friends. A man can learn and appreciate much more about you when he
interacts with you in your own environment.
5. Finally, do not say yes to a steady relationship until you
are sure that he knows the real you. Make sure he discovers your other
delightful and exciting qualities; those that are likely to keep his interest
and sustain a great relationship long after the fantasy of early courtship is
over.
